| Though we have been to SF several times, this tour put the city in context like no other. We need to go back to follow up on all the great recommendations she gave us. Her passion for the city really shows through on the tour. |

| Collette provide a wealth of information about the city and tied in into the local coffee culture. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the city ... as well as the great coffee spots! |

| It was a wonderful experience! The tour was informative to a point that I wanted to read about North Beach and its legacy afterwards. The two cafes "Treiste" and "Greco" served excellent coffee. The ambience of both cafes were that of the 50's era. Collette's narration of the tour was eloquent and professional. Her knowledge of the area surprised me. I want to thank Javawalk for extending their courtesy even though I was the only participant for that day. Now that is service! |

| If you're visiting San Francisco, you'll get far more out of this guided tour than an impersonal visit to the usual city tourist destinations.
Well thought out, informative, and well-conducted. Budget about 2-1/2 hours and be prepared to walk (though it isn't at all exhausting). |

| Our Javawalk guide, Nicole, was brilliant: coffeehouses served as mileposts along a morning tour of San Francisco that somehow managed to cover most of what you'd really want to know about the city on first flush along with scintillating historical and cultural details that transcended the usual hoary namedropping and tall tales. She made us feel like new friends from the start, and old friends at the conclusion. Highly recommended for folks like us who want to be taught in full color without any frippery or tiresome monument-gazing. All hail Nicole! :-) |

| We had the best time with our tour guide. She was so personable and fun. My wife was pregnant and she had no trouble walking the distance that was required. I would suggest this to anyone and everyone going to San Francisco! |

| Was a great and informative walk....Not just learning about and visiting coffeeshops...but informative and interesting about SF in general...history, stories, current events etc....Collete was fantastic...I will certainly recommend to others....and though there was alot of walking....SF is just a plain "fun to walk in" City!!
After the tour, (that evening and next night) I revisited several of the coffeeshops and places we had been...and attended the Beach Blanket Babylon performance that Collete had mentioned as well....
Thanks...so very much for the GREAT tour...

| Extremely knowlegeable and enthusiastic, Collette guided us through Chinatown, Little Italy, North Beach....all the while providing us with tidbits of San Francisco history. We have lived in the area for over 30 years and still learned a thing or two. Walking through very interesting parts of the City on a beautiful day, made for a memorable and enjoyable experience. |

Not really a java walk

| First 40 minutes spent in Chinatown going over history of city--we had just had a separate tour of Chinatown so were not happy to have a repetition. We went to 1 open coffee shop and had a drink; then walked to 2 other closed (!?) shops before going to one last open coffee shop for a small espresso dessert. I can't recommend this tour. |
